My name is Madeline Pickering. I believe that technology has the potential to solve some of the world's most important problems in a scalable and sustainable way. That's why I became a Product and UX designer. I currently work as a Product Designer at Customer.io.

My first love was building technology. I worked as a front end developer, web development instructor, and technical product manager because I loved making something out of nothing. But for me, development was missing a human component. I was easily drawn to UX design by my curiosity for the human problems technology could solve. I've spent the last few years as a Product and UX Designer in SaaS and at a social impact start up.

Outside of work, my main goal is to have as many deep human experiences as possible. This means exploring the world through writing, reading, service, and outdoor adventure in attempt to fuel my insatiable curiosity. I volunteer at Paradox Sports, write novels, and run a lot of muddy trails.
